Thoughts of Thaddeus

Time...the one resource we can never get more of.

Is there more than the Christian cliche: All in God's time?

God is more worried about our character than our calling or position...how does this impact our concept of time?

God is always ready to do a new work in and through us, just not with the "old" us. 

We need to understand that what cannot be understood, can happen.

This world is full of events, day in and day out, that make us scratch our heads and wonder how is that even possible?

So, how do we gain understanding on something that can't be understood? We can't focus on the symptoms, we need to dig down to the core of the problem. It is there that we will find answers our hearts long for! 

We need to change our perspective…suffering is granted, not as a punishment, but as an instrument that God uses to shape us into what will bring glory to His Son.

Few Christians view suffering this way. And in doing so, we miss what and how God is moving in and through our lives.

This line baffles me!

I hear it a lot from Christians, believers, and church-goers (yes, there’s a difference; maybe I’ll get around to talking about that sometime).

There’s two problems with this line: (1) Jesus didn’t (2) We shouldn’t either! I know what your knee-jerk reaction is, I know what your thinking…

Just give me a little grace and 12 minutes and I bet we'll end up closer together on this...Thanks!

How do we handle differences INSIDE the body of Christ?

What should our response be when people are different from us?

Thanks for checking this out...hope you find worth in it!

How should we respond to those whose intentions aren't the best towards us? How did Jesus?

John 6:1-5 gives us a great lesson in how we should respond in situations like this. 

Nobody likes to be used or manipulated...but is there a way to show the love of Christ even in a situation like that? 

Thanks for checking this out!

The main idea behind all of this is to discuss matters of life and faith, and just share how I process those two hand-in-hand. Trying to answer the question: "What does it look like to love Jesus in every day practical life?"

This first episode, I talk about the need to process emotions properly. Emotions and feelings are bad, but can cause a lot of confusion and trouble is left unchecked! 

Hope this blesses you today!
